when to remove leaf bagger and blower

Thanks guys for the advice, leave it on till spring cleanups are through will work for me. Just anxious to take it off. With it on I can't see much while backing up to objects like trees and shrubs, not to mention it takes up much more space on the trailer.

You don't need to put the discharge cover and mulch plates back on, do you? Can't you just discharge? On my Exmark the blower and tube only take a minute to take off. I discharge most of the time and if I need to bag I just put the blower and tube on. Like I said earlier I leave the hopper on, but space on my trailer isn't an issue and I like the extra weight for better traction actually.
